Verdict Suspicious
Is Empire_
One major antivirus engine identified a Python trojan, but 74 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it did not flag it and no independent evidence confirms that finding.
Read the whole reasonShow less
Why Suspicious? One antivirus engine (ESET) flags it; nothing else confirms it.
Limited evidence
Avoid opening the archive until its origin is verified or further analysis resolves the isolated detection. Keep security protection enabled and use a controlled sandbox if examination is necessary.
What to do now4 steps
Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.
What to do
Don't open or extract it unless you're sure where it came from.
Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.
If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
If you already opened or extracted it
Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Why we think so
5 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
ESET-NOD32 detected Python/Agent.BVZ, while the other 74 of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it did not flag the archive and no family consensus formed. Because the file is and has no completed the test run, the isolated detection remains unresolved; avoid opening it until its source or contents can be independently verified.
The archive received one detection among 75 engines, and that detection came from major antivirus engine ESET-NOD32 with a Python/Agent.BVZ label. However, 16 other major antivirus engines reported no detection, and there is no major family consensus. The file has only one recorded submission and was first observed on Sep 11, 2026, so reputation evidence is not mature enough to settle the conflict. No completed sandbox observation, malicious file it created result, similar-file history, or researcher-rule match is available. The evidence therefore supports caution without establishing a confirmed malware family.
What We Detected
ESET-NOD32 was the only engine among 75 to flag the archive, reporting Python/Agent.BVZ. Sixteen other major antivirus engines, including BitDefender, Kaspersky, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira, did not reproduce the detection, and no major family consensus formed.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox run is available, so execution behavior was not observed. The contacted-host reputation check was also unavailable, and there is no malicious file it created finding. Researcher intelligence produced no YARAify or MalwareBazaar match, though those absences cannot prove a file is benign.
What To Do Now
Do not open or extract the archive on a primary system until its source and contents are verified. Keep security software enabled, obtain the file from a trusted official source if possible, and rescan it after more evidence or controlled sandbox results become available.
Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
- ESET-NOD32 is a major antivirus engine and specifically identified Python/Agent.BVZ, so its isolated detection should not be dismissed outright.
- Sixteen other major antivirus engines reported no detection, including BitDefender, Kaspersky, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira.
- No external-intelligence hit was found, although absence of a match does not establish that an archive is benign.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Only 1/65 engines reported a detection.
- Sixteen major antivirus engines reported no detection.
- Major antivirus engines do not agree on one malware family.
- No community YARA rule matched and the hash is not listed in the MalwareBazaar malware database.
- The brand-mismatch flag was not reported.
- ESET-NOD32 identified Python/Agent.BVZ.
- The archive is with only one recorded submission.
- The ZIP contains a PE file according to the file's tag list.
- No completed the test run is available.
- No complete contacted-host reputation result is available.
